It's too early for me to commit to being in Sapporo this year. Between this group, Houdini, and other standards related topics I have my fingers in, I'd say there's a decent chance.
For this group in particular, I think a face to face meeting of some variety is a good idea to bootstrap the work for a V2 spec. Perhaps sooner than TPAC though. Microsoft (probably) could host a WG F2F either in Redmond or Mountain View if there's interest. That doesn't necessarily preclude meeting at TPAC also.

Hi, folks–
As mentioned on the Web Annotation WG telcon today, TPAC is in Hokkaido, Sapporo, Japan this year, 1–6 November.
The meeting planners need to know which working groups plan to have a meeting there.
If you think you might be able to attend, or know you can't, please say so on this thread, so we can make an informed decision on whether there are enough Pointer Events WG participants to justify having a meeting there.
The deadline is in 3 weeks, so we need to know ASAP.
